    Hello TW fam!

    It's time to retire my stock leaf packs + AAL and wanted to get some recommendation on a new set of leaf packs. Currently with a full load, the rear end sags way too much...

    My current setup:
    5100's w 887
    I keep the bedrack/rtt on all year long.

    I've heard of Allpro Standard/Expo kits and Dakars (Med)? Which one is best bang for your $?

    Maybe the icon leaf pack? Don’t know how people are liking it but you basically get everything you need to set them up for 3 different weight ranges. There’s an additional leaf that you can switch I and out.

    dakars for bang for buck, make sure to use RUBBER ISOLATORS between the leafs and keep up on the maintenance for the bushings or they wil squeak like a MF. i went with el095R medium duty pack and great on & offroad. if you save up a bit more go with deaver u402's, much quieter and easier articulation from my experience

    When upgrading to new leaf springs, I'll just need a new set of ubolts and that's it correct? Want to make sure I order everything at once.

    Yes you should need new ubolrs depending on overall leaf thickness. Highly recommended the archive garage U-Bolt flip kit with new bump stops.

    Hey I just got a u bolt flip kit but I think the u bolts are too wide should they not be hugging the rear axel snuggley? I have just over half an inch gap between the u bolt and the rear axel

    I got the ubolt flip from Wheelers-- got it at Low Range here. Mine is snug. Fits perfect. bolts should easily fit lifted leaf packs

    I made my own bump stops with the stock ones too

    DAMN!!! yeah shit like that happened to me with the 2.5 ICONS I originally bought from Summit. They were supposed to have 700lb springs and @Texoma was able to tell me they were the wrong springs when I sent him the part number on the actual coils. Returned them to Summit. Better off in the end... ordered tuned Elkas

    Did they already send you a replacement?

    Okay i just wanna say that with my fiberglass shell my dakar mediums got me 2.75 inches and then settled to get me 1 inch over stock (i was sagging 1 inch below stock height before the install.

    just fyi with that rack and rtt the dakar mediums will probably net you 1 inch over stock height. Not necessarily a bad thing. And they’re not super stiff so that’s awesome
